With the adoption by the senior lit
class yesterday, of the recommendation
of the committee of senior class pres-
idents, that the date for the tradition-
al "swing-out" be set for Tuesday, May
12, the time for the annual promenade
around the campus was definitely fiix-
ed. Exercises will be held in Univer-
sity Hall preceding the march. The
class also decided to wear caps and
gowns on Wednesdays and Fridays
from swingout until commencement.
The cap and gown committee
announced that Mack and Company,
Henry and Company, and Kyer
are ready to take measurements for
caps and gowns, and it was recommen-
ded that as many as possible order
them before vacation. Rental for the
season will be $2.00 but a deposit of
an additional $3.00 will be required'
at the time of ordering, which will be
refunded when the gown are returned.
Rental of the gowns for commence-
ment only will cost $1.50. Caps and
gowns may be purchased at prices
ranging from $3.50 to $15.00. Various
new styles of stiff crowned hats are
offered by the different companies.Fur-
ther information can be- obtained from
Paul Blanshard, chairman of the com-
mittee, at phone 2319-J.

5:30
r the
o'clock tonight, under the auspices of
the German societies of Ann Arbor,
will be the biggest event of its kind
ever attempted in this country. A
unique program has been arranged by
the committee in charge,of which Prof.
W. W. Florer, of the German depart-
ment, is the chairman. Consul-Gener-'
al Alfred Geissler, of Chicago, and!
President Harry B. Hutchins will be
the principal speakers. The event will
mark the opening session of the annu-
al meeting of the Schoolmasters' club
of Michigan.
The German consul-general will
speak on "The Economic Development
of Germany since 1870," while Presi-
dent Hutchins will deliver the address
of welcome. Prof. William Howland,
of the school of music, has promised to
sing Schubert's "Erlkoenig," to be ac-
companied by Mrs. Minnie D. Sherrill.
The Varsity quartet is scheduled to
give a few popular German college
songs.
The "Harmonie Maennerchor," con-
sisting of 60 voices, will render "Das
Deutsche Lied," and other selected
songs. Mrs. George A. Hastreiter will
give "Am Rhein," while Frank Taber,

organ selection.
Consul-general Geissler, will arrive

pus; he will be the guest of Regent

egations from high schools throughout
the state, several social organizations
will be represented. The Borussenges-
ellschaft, the society which recently
made a donation of German books to
the University library, will attend en
masse; and the committee in charge
of the "Deutscher Haus" movement in
Detroit will arrive here at noon. The
latter deputation will be received by
members of the Deutscher Verein, and

at 8:15 o'clock, and will remain closed
until after the organ recital by Frank
Taber.
ALASKAN POSITIONS OPEN
FOR MICIIIG AN GRAD UTES
Sparkling with clever comedy, and
gay with tuneful music and pictur-
esque costumes, the first performance
of the tenth annual junior girls' play,
"The Treasure of Toule," given last.
night in honor of the women of 1914,
scored a decided success. 4
The play, a comedy in two acts, writ-
ten by Louise F. Markley, '15,was char-
acterized by a clever plot, full or love
and adventure in southern France, and
was successfully interpreted by the
acting. From the time the curtain rose
on the unique setting of the first act,
a room in the Inn Cheval d'Or, until
the last encore, not a dull moment
ensued.
Alice Lloyd as "Paul," the son of a
poverty stricken noble house, and Ro-
maine Bramwell, as "Suzanne," re-
ceived much applause for their beau-
tiful love song,"Castles, Fairy Castles,"
written by Helen Malcomson and Vera
Burridge.
Hertha Hartwig, as "Francois Ver-
on," the inn-keeper, deserves special
commendation for her realistic inter-
pretation of the role.
Lillian Wright, as Fanchon, the flirt,
made one of the hits of the evening
with her clever "Pit-Pat" song. Mary
Lewis, as the pirate chief, Helen Mal-
comson as "Jean," the village black-
smith, Marcia Munsell as the gypsy
fortune teller, and Elizabeth Mason as
Jacqueline, were also worthy of praise.
Among the choruses, the pirate chorus
led by Mary Lewis, as the chief, and
Honora Fogerty as lieutenant, was the
most popular, closely seconded by the
dainty convent maids' chorus.
Most of the music was written by
Earl V. Moore, who acted as musical
director.
The play will be presented again
Thursday afternoon, April 2, preced-
ing the women's banquet.
ZOOLOGY ASSISTANT LIVES
IN WOODS TO STUI)Y FROGS,
Mr. Harold Cummings, an assistant
in the zoology department, is now liv-
ing in a tent at White's woods, located
about two miles west of Ann Abor. He
is engaged in studying the breeding,
habits of frogs.
SIMPLIFIED SPELLERS NOT
ENCOURAGEP BY UNIVERSITYI
Simplified spelling received a jolt;
Monday night, when the University,
Senate refused to accept the invitation
of the state board to declare in its fa-
vor. The advocates of the newer meth-
od have organized bodies at work in
the interest of the cause and attempt-
ed to get the university to support the
movement.
Prof. I. N. Demmon, of the English1
department, spoke against the meas-i
ure, while Prof. J. S. P. Tatlock, of the1
same department, spoke in favor of the1
simplified method.
State Teachers Will See Folk Dancing1
There will be a demonstration of
games, gymnastic drill, and folk danc-i
ing, in Barbour gymnasium at 4:30
o'clock tomorrow afternoon for the1
Michigan Schoolmasters' club.4
According to a statement made yes-
terday by Registrar A. G. Hall, ab-
sences from classes immediately pre-
ceding and following the spring recess
will be dealt with very strictly by the
attendance committee of the literary
department. The same rules as gov-
erned absences at the Christmas. holi-
day time will govern in the present
instance.
RECRUIT PITCHES,
SINGLE HIT GAME
Ferguson Holds Blue Team to One flit
in Five Sessions, Against
Mfalze Squad
BARIBE AS PITCHING UNSTEADY
Ferguson, one of the recruit pitchers
who is battling for a berth on the south-
ern squad, yesterday held the Blue
team to one hit in five innings, and de-
feated Baribeau, veteran hurler, 6 to 0.
While the performance of the young-
ster was a creditable one, the defeat
of the Blue team was only in a small
part the fault of the Varsity hurler
who was pitching for them. Baribeau
yielded three hits in the first inning,
and the soaring disposition of the Blue
infield. still more substantially aided
in netting the Maize four runs.
For the next three innings Baribeau
let but ten men face him, but in the
last round his support again went sky-
ward, and without a hit, the Maize
gained two more runs. But one of the
six runs against Baribeau was earned.
Development of the X-ray plate of
Baer's injured finger shows that there
was no fracture, and Lundgren expects
the veteran will be in shape by the end
of the week.
The teams lined up yesterday as fol-
lows: Maize-Ferguson, p; Hippler, c;
Howard, lb; Lavans, 2b; Baker, ss;
Shivel, 3b; Graham, lf; Sheehy, cf;
Robinson, rf. Blue-Baribeau, p; Matt-
son, c; Werum, lb; Rice, 2b; Caswell,]
ss; Diemer, 3b; Saier, If; Davidson,

NO SPRING TRIP THIS YEAR
FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERS
For the first time in nearly ten years,
there will be no spring trip of mechan-
ical engineers this year. The 2,000
mile trip through the east which had
been planned, was cancelled yesterday
because not enough men had signed
up to make the trip worth while. Only
nine students had signified their inten-
tions of going, and the majority of
these will probably go on the trip of
the electrical engineers, which includ-
es stops at the majority of points of in-
terest, which the mechanicals had hop-
ed to visit.
